. NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 2O.-Intelligence
has been received of what seems to be q
destardly attempt made at Springfield,
Robertson county, to kill the Rev. 1. j.
Duncan, pastor of the Methodist church
at Pulaski, while he was engaged in delly-
ering lecture on prohibition. MIR. Duncan,
by invitation, was addressing large au IL
ence in church when terrific report at
the rear ofthe edifce was heard. The audi
ence became greatly alarmed, aud the ex-
element was intensified by second report
which quickly followed the first. Mr.. Dun
can kent COO! and resumed his discourse.
After the conclusion an. examination OF the
premises was made, resulting in the dis
coyery of the fact that two dynamite cart
ridges had been fired in the rear of the
stand occupied by Mr.. Duncan. The
ground was torn up for some distance
around aud the glass in the windows was
shattered.

PROCEEDINGS OF THURSDAY EVENING AND
MIGHT

PROCEEDINGS OF THURSDAY EVENING AND
NIGHT.
Il accordance with the resolution offered
by Rev. A. P. Gray the council met at
four O'Clock in St. Paul's Church for q
special service of in!ercession to God, that
the State may be wisely guided amidst its
present difficulties, and that it may have
the blessing Of an abundant harvest. AT the
request of Bishop Randolph the Rev. DR..
Nelson of thelSeminary presided during the
devotional exercises. After singing the
3O4th hymn DR.. Nelson read a few prayers
and asked the Rev. A. P. Gray to state the
object of the meeting. Different speakers,
among whom were the Revs. DIR. Dashlell,
Peterkin, ]. P. Lawrence, Jones, and MIR.
Winston, expressed the needs of the various
sections of the country, and asked for the
earnest prayers of the council in their neces-
sity. Prayer was offered by some of the
brethren between the requests thus made.
The meeting closed with the singing of the
HYMN, God moves in a mysterious way"
and PRAYER by Dr. Nelson. Much interest
was manifested by those who were present,
and it is devoutly hoped that these blessings
asked in faith may be eflectually obtained.
At eight o'clock the service in behalf OF
foreign missions was held in st. PauPs
Church. There was large and attentive
congregation present. The special form OF
prayer authorized by General Convention
for missions was read by the Rev. John K.

LETTER FROM RICHMOND.

Especial Cor OF the Ale1andris GAZETTE
RICHMOND, May 19.-The bill which Sem
ator Meredith so earnestly advocated in the
Senate, providing for an appropriation of
81 900 for the Ladies' Memorial Association
of Manassas easily passed the House to-day.
Indeed 1t received almost unanimous vote.
Mr., Waddill, of Henrico offered an amend.
ment to include the lakewood Cemetery.
but Senator Meredith, who came over from
the Senate to look after the bill Speaker
Stuart being in the chair, persuaded
Mr.. Waddill to withdraw his amendment
Speaker Stuart had some doubt "a to the
constitutionality of the appropriation. The
bill will be taken to the Governor at once
and he will surely sign it.
When the House bill for the relief of .be
sureties of A. F. Creel, of Fauquier, came
I'D on it's passage in the Senate this after
noon, Senator Heaton, of Loudeun, who is 9
bachelor, said he hoped the bill would pass
as he understood Mr.. Creel had fourteen
unmarried daughters. The Senate passed
the bill and Mr.. Heaton was applauded.

THE FACT that Americans. women as well
as men, always see citizens Of other coun,
tries preferred to them at foreign court
presentations, for the reason that American
representatives at those courts are only min
listers. while those of other countries are am
bsssad u.s. is the cause of rapidly growing
complaint among such of them as have the
means 10 travel abroad aad arc funky
enough to desire presentation at the courts
of foreign countries. The best possible way
to remove the cause of this complaint is to
abolish the whole of the utterly useless and
expensive diplomatic service, the existence
of which is incompatible with that of steam
and electricity.

do, but that he does not expect any definite

says he doesn't think the failure of the Viz

THE BoNDHoLDERs' CIRCULAR.-The fol-
lowing is the text of the preamble and reso-
luton adopted by both branches of the Leg.
islatu;e yesterday, noticed in the dispatches
to the GAZETTE.
Whereas the recent arrived agents of the for
eign bondhoders Edward Thornton and E. N.
Braithwaite) have circulars headed, Virginia
State Debt now being circulated in Rlch
mond, and also mads public in the Richmond pa
pers Of this morning, in which circuler there sp-
pears statements at variance with the final report
of the joint committee made to this General As
sembly and whereas this circular is calculated to
make false impressions and produce a controver
sy on facts which really occurred in the confer
ence between the Legislative Committee and the
agents of tho foreign bondhoders
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Delegates
concurring,) That the joint committee appointed
to confer with the foreign bondhoders be instruct
ed to examine the circular headed "Virginia
State Debt, and report whether this circular DO
true and state definitely and accurately what the
final proposition was that the bondhoders made
The report is to be made from the record of the
proceedings of the joint conference and not in any
way to have any further official intercourse with
the agents of the bondholders"
The Legislative committee met last night
and agreed upon report in which they
state that the circular issued by the foreign
commissioners, purporting to be the complete
proposition made to the legislative com
mittee, is misleading and incorrect.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1887-05-20

TIVE MEMBERS of the legislature who have
inst rslused to settle the State debt, are
firmly convinced that in doing go they acted
in accordance with the will of large rna
iority of their constituents, and that they
will be endorsed and sustained therefor at
subsequent elections. No men were ever
more mistaken. The intelligent people Of
Virginia thoroughly understand and pain
fully realize the serious injury that has been
inflicted upon them and their Stale by the
long unsettled condition of the Virginia
d.bt. and by the several vain attempts that
have been made to repudiate that debt, or a
large part of it. They have seen other
Southern States farther from market, and
great; Inferior to Virginia in both natural
and artificial facilities for all the purposes
of growth and wealth, leave her far behind
on the road to prosperity, simply because
Northern and foreign capital was afraid to
come where the obligations Of pecuniary con-
tracts were not binding, and where, owing
TO the uncertainties aad possibilities of The
debt, there coulu, OF COURSE, NC no oenui'o
understanding respecting the rate of taxa
ton that might be imposed upon it. AS
reasonable people. they must know that the
existing evil can only be cured by the re.
moval Of the cause, and if the question OF
the removal or the continuation of that
cause be submitted to them, as it should be,
now that the legislature has failed to re-
move it, the members of that body will tnd
out that they have been egregiously mis-
taken.

A WITNESS before the interstate commerce
committee in Washington yesterday stated
that the trouble with the Southern railroads
is caused by the Northern roads, which have
availed themselves of the opportunity al
forded By the interstate commerce bill to
advance their rates ut the South. This is
not at all surprising. The average profit of
the railroads last year was little. if any, over
two per cent. 1t was perfectly natural,
therefore, that the Northern railroads should
have taken advantage of the favorable OPP
portunity the Interstate commerce bill af'
forded them for raising heir charges 80 as to
increase their profits. The only remarkable
thing about this Whole afnir is that the
Solons who prepared the BILL didn't know
at the time they were passing it that it con
ia ued the opportunity referred TO. Neither
municipal, State nor national legislation has
any right 10 interfere with the conduct of
peoples private business. provided that
business be not demoralizing or criminal,
and the impotency Of such interference has
been demonstrated as often as it has been
attemp ted
